In 1781 the planet Uranus was discovered. This was a very profound discovery in human history. Prior to this event humans were only aware and conscious of the 7 planets out to Saturn. Amazing things began to happen after Uranus was discovered. The French and American revolutions soon exploded. There became a universal call for individual rights and equality.

That basically we are all equal and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. It is looking around and seeing that each individual has a right for his voice to be heard and that his voice deserves to have the same impact and weight as the next person regardless of race, gender, education, wealth or ancestry.
